ADMITTING PROCEDURE
On admission day, the SDRC case manager will submit an admission agreement packet; parents or a designated representative will sign all necessary forms; agencies and parents will review house rules, visitation policy, grievance procedure, day program attendance, behavior modification techniques, consumer rights policy, etc.
Thirty-Day Review
Within ten days the consumer is required to have a physical. During this time a behavioral consultant will gather information on consumer’s preferences such as activities, friends, outings, food, etc. This information is used to formulate a behavior modification plan. An assessment is done by our I.D. team and psychologist to determine appropriate placement. A person-centered IPP will develop objectives for behavior management, self-care skills, consumer participation, and appropriate community services. This thirty-day review may include the SDRC manager, psychologist, Hearts of Gold Care Homes administrator and/or owner, parents, and other interested parties.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
On Admission Day, all emergency criteria will be entered on the consumer face sheet and will be kept in the cover of the consumer’s medical notebook.
